Chapter 722: Chapter 722: It’s My Turn Now, Right?
"We were supposed to be less than a kilometer away, so why haven’t we seen those nine pyramids after walking for almost half an hour?"
"Is the Young Master deceiving us?"
"Shh—"
Even though these mercenaries were in excellent physical condition, the two recent setbacks had put significant mental pressure on them, making them restless after less than half an hour of marching.
They dared not speak loudly for fear of getting their heads blown off with a single shot, so they could only discuss in whispers.
Jabem heard them but pretended not to.
He couldn’t understand why his crystal, which could dispel Evil Magic and witchcraft, was so ineffective against Yang Yu’s Daoist Skill.
Now, he could only rely on his five meters of visibility and memory of the path to find a way out amidst the "fog."
He would have liked to use navigation, but the signals in this area were all gone.
No mobile signal, no navigation, right?
Having no other choice, he continued walking with a stiff resolve.
"We’re here!" Jabem’s eyes lit up as he shouted.
The others looked up, and indeed, the nine pyramids suddenly appeared before them—what did that mean?
That meant the nine pyramids were real; they had just been obscured by Yang Yu’s Illusion!
The group glanced up at the sun again, and sure enough, the time on their watches matched the position of the sun perfectly.
It wasn’t like before, when the sun seemed stuck in the same spot as they walked.
"Thank goodness, we’ve finally made it out!"
"There’s the Xia Country person over there!"
Everyone stared at Yang Yu, who was standing several dozen meters ahead, their eyes filled with fear and anger.
Just one person had toyed with so many of them; this young man from Xia Country was truly frightening!
"Yang Yu, we’ve finally found you!" Jabem wished he could rush forward and tear Yang Yu into thousands of pieces, but he knew that if Yang Yu dared to wait, he surely had a trick up his sleeve.
If he acted rashly, he might not even know how he died.
"So what if you’ve found me?" Yang Yu smiled carelessly, "I still suggest you don’t come any closer. If you dare take one more step, I will make sure you understand what ’come many, die many’ means!"
"Delon, send your platoon in first!" At Jabem’s command, the squad leader named Delon’s face immediately turned pale.
But he dared not resist and, gritting his teeth, led his twenty-plus squad brothers toward Yang Yu.
As the last of the small squad stepped out, a gust of wind suddenly blew wildly, filling the air with sand!
Jabem and the people behind him were blinded by the sandstorm, unable to see their comrades, but they heard a series of shrill screams from amidst the sandstorm, "Ahh—"
The wind and sand lasted only ten seconds; it came quickly and left just as fast.
However, where more than twenty people had gone in, there were now only corpses lying on the ground.
The cause of death was being penetrated by countless fine grains, their bodies drenched in blood!
"How is it possible to be perforated by sand?"
"No wonder their screams were so agonizing; can you imagine the pain of being pierced by sand?"
"Yang Yu!" Jabem completely lost control and yelled, "Fire at him, blow him to bits!"
Over two thousand people fired at Yang Yu; the sound of machine guns and artillery melded, blasting Yang Yu’s position into a small mushroom cloud.
Everyone witnessed Yang Yu being devoured by the barrage, but when the smoke cleared, Yang Yu was still standing in his spot unharmed, making everyone’s eyelids twitch.
"He doesn’t even have a scratch on him!"
"This guy isn’t human, he’s a devil!"
Yang Yu’s magical abilities had all these people completely dumbfounded, their hearts no longer possessed the courage to continue fighting desperately against Yang Yu.
If they weren’t afraid of being blown apart by a gunshot to the head by Young Master Jabem, they would have turned and fled by now.
They were greedy for wealth, and would do anything for money, but they were only greedy because they wanted to be alive to spend it.
What use is wealth if they’re dead?
"Come at me again," Yang Yu said with a smile, making a ’come hither’ gesture with his finger at Jabem, which made Jabem roar with rage once more, "Fire!"
Boom, boom, boom...
Once again a series of gunfire filled the sky, but Yang Yu still stood unharmed before them, further shattering their confidence: "He can’t be killed, he just can’t be!"
"Yeah, how can we even fight this?"
Just as the people of the Jiaxi Family were losing faith, Yang Yu spoke again, "Is it my turn now?"
As soon as Yang Yu’s voice fell, the sand on the ground was suddenly whipped up by a gust of wind, forming a sand wave several meters high, rushing ferociously towards Jabem’s main force!
"Run for your lives!" The crowd was so scared they immediately retreated, stumbling and scrambling away.
Only when the sand settled did they realize that they had just been covered with a headful of sand.
"Ptui, ptui, ptui..." The people spat out sand while wiping their faces.
A group of elite mercenaries had been reduced to a sorry state by a bunch of sand—what a mess!
Jabem knew that morale had disintegrated, and any reckless attack now could lead to anything happening, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Wait for nightfall! As long as this guy doesn’t run, we’ll leave those people from Xia Country alone!"
Jabem also knew that Mirage was an illusion caused by sunlight and the atmospheric layers of the desert, and Yang Yu had intensified the power of this Mirage through his Daoist Skill.
And once the sun set and the sunlight disappeared, all illusions would naturally vanish.
Yang Yu had stayed behind alone to cover the retreat of his comrades and the people from Xia Country.
The main target of the Jiaxi Family was Yang Yu, so as long as they could capture him, their mission would be accomplished, even if they couldn’t kill those from Xia Country.
So with that in mind, they decided to wait for the darkness to fall.
Seeing that Jabem had ordered his men to rest on the spot, the smile on Yang Yu’s face grew even more intense.
If Jabem left now, he and his men might still have a chance at life.
Once the sun disappeared, that would be the real start of the slaughter!
The people on the spot rested, drank water, ate dry food, and replenished their energy, gradually calming their nerves.
There were still several hours until sunset, so they could rest well.
Once the illusions disappeared, it would be the end for that Xia Country lad!
Yang Yu also sat down on the spot and continued to meditate with closed eyes.
Jabem stared intently at Yang Yu, boiling with rage because he could only watch and was unable to kill him.
Yang Yu seemed to know that Jabem was watching him, and even deliberately opened his eyes to flash Jabem a smile, nearly breaking Jabem’s composure, "This bastard, I will tear him into a thousand pieces!"
Time ticked away, by seconds and by minutes, and the sun also set with it.
Just as the sunlight completely disappeared, Jabem heard the sound of vehicles in the distance, causing a burst of cheering: "Our vehicles have arrived, now let’s see how this kid’s going to run!"
"Huh? That’s not right, why are there hundreds of people on the vehicles?"
